Santa Monica is moving toward a fully electric Big Blue Bus fleet by 2032, and ChargePoint and @eatoncorp are helping power the transition. As part of the City’s $56 million investment in electric transit infrastructure, Big Blue Bus plans to deploy 130 DC fast charging ports, exclusively featuring ChargePoint Express Plus equipment powered by Eaton. The collaboration brings together ChargePoint’s high-power charging solutions and fleet software with Eaton’s electrical infrastructure and energy management expertise to support reliable operations today and scale for the future. For more than 10 million Big Blue Bus rides each year, this is what transportation electrification at scale looks like. #EVCharging #FleetElectrification #PublicTransit #ChargePoint #Eaton
